Sorry it has been a while since my last update, I hope these make up for it. These cookie slices are not very sweet, they are deliciously salty though and quickly disappear. Perfect with a cup of Chai, but not so much on the way to work when you are hurriedly trying to brush the chocolate crumbs away from your mouth, cheek, nose!
This recipe is influenced by this blog, but I'm sure it is floating around the internet in many forms.
Ingredients
225g unsalted butter, softened
200g granulated sugar
¾ tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
240g plain flour
175g roasted, salted peanuts roughly chopped
100g dark chocolate
Method
Preheat oven to 200C, line a 15 ½ x 10 ½ inch pan with baking paper.
With an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and beat in salt and vanilla, add flour and combine. Stir in half the chopped nuts.
Turn the dough out into the lined baking sheet, press into the pan so the dough forms a thin layer. Sprinkle the rest of the nuts onto the top. Place another piece of baking paper over the dough and roll, or press the nuts into the dough.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops starts to turn golden brown. The mixture will still appear soft, but don’t worry it will harden as it cools.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then cut into squares. Allow to cool further and turn out.
Melt the chocolate and spread a thin layer on the bottom of the slices with a knife. Allow to set in the fridge for 30 minutes, drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top and allow to set before eating (if you can wait that long!)
